The Veiled Throne Novels & Stories

“Then it’s not a weapon.” “No,” said the witch elder, rising slowly from her seat. Her robes whispered against the stone like dead leaves dragged by wind. She descended the steps with measured care, eyes never leaving Autumn. “It is a throne,” the elder said. “And once it is worn, the Veil no longer whispers to you.” Autumn swallowed. “Then what?” The elder stopped a single step away. “It obeys.” The word settled like ash. Silence followed—heavy, suffocating.

The twinkling in her brown eyes dies down. Izzat squinted his eyes to analyze the source of the faint red glow that besieged Thalia's body. Nonetheless, that bright red aura enveloping her body, what is its identity? And, this is the first time he sees such a thing, and he admitted this. Izzat is actually a bit curious about it. It's not the usual sinister and forbidding aura of an evil spirit. Although, he does sense something as ominous and deadly as those. They were currently leaking out from the compelling aura around her.

“What exactly is it?” Kaelith held her gaze steadily. “All the elite men and women of the court gather in the Grand Hall of Veils. The hall is transformed — floating silks, glowing crystals, music that stirs the blood and heightens sensation. It is a night of open pleasure and ritual union. A celebration of fertility, magic, and renewal.”

Helios said. Mariah nodded and turned to smile at Naomi. Elena shall teleport them to the throne room after. Mariah was dressed in a beautiful white robe with a golden overcoat. Her hair was held up in a phoenix-shaped crown, adorned with beautiful hair accessories. With the amount of accessories and the gold crown, Mariah must say that it made her head heavy; however, Elena had told her it was the dressing to befit a queen, so she could only endure. After all, it was not that she was going to be wearing it all the time, just for tonight. As soon as they approached in front of the throne room, Helios covered her face with a golden see see-through veil.

"The Veil is a relic of Nylora. Kept in her temple. Not claimed by the Tide Court." "Everything in Meristhal belongs to the Tide Court," the Mist Queen corrects. "By right of power and presence. But you're correct—the Veil is not mine to give or withhold. It belongs to the temple. To the goddess." Her mirror-eyes fix on me. "The real question is whether you're worthy to claim it." "How do we prove we're worthy?" "You don't. The temple will decide." She stands, and water cascades from her robes in glittering sheets. "But I can offer you guidance. For a price."

Then… “There is a place,” it said, its tone lowering, almost… reverent. “Hidden. Forgotten. But deeply desired by many.” A chill slid down my spine. “A place where lust rules over control… where wolves do not hide what they are.” My breath caught. “What is this place…?” I whispered. “The Veil of Veythra,” the voice answered. The name alone felt heavy… like it carried secrets older than the walls around me. “It is where desire and power intertwine,” it continued. “Where the body speaks truth… and the soul cannot lie.”

The glyph projected a shape, not a man, not a creature, but a throne. A throne made of shadows, moonlight, and starlight woven together—three parts. Triad and Convergent. The original throne. The First Throne. Alessia’s heart pounded. She whispered, “The Architect wasn’t trying to create power.” “He was trying to reclaim it,” Selene finished. The throne pulsed again. —Descendant. —Bearer. —Claim what was denied. Kael stepped in front of her. “No,” he said firmly. “She’s not touching that.”

My breath seized. I refused to take her hand. Her smile didn’t stop—but her eyes hardened, just for a second. You will need that fire where you are going.” “What do you mean?” I asked in confusion. She dropped her hand, straightened herself but was very unreadable. “The Veil is breaking faster than they realize. The throne is waking. And when it does, every bond, every oath, every love you cling to will be tested. Do you understand?” “No,” I said honestly.

"Who knows where Vincent went? Probably found someone new already." I forced myself to focus on the fabric and designs spread before me, but my vision kept blurring. I wanted to believe Vincent hadn't abandoned me, that he truly was just out with friends. But what if he never came back? The door suddenly creaked open. A tall man stood there, his black suit gleaming under the light. I recognized it instantly. It was the one I'd designed for Vincent myself, a one-of-a-kind piece. It looked plain on the outside, but I’d poured my heart into every stitch and detail.

A large circular window behind the throne opened directly to the moon, allowing the silver glow of the Blood Moon to spill into the room like water. The floor beneath the thrones was polished marble, white with delicate gold lines, reflecting the moonlight beautifully. Intricate symbols of the Veylra tribe were engraved around the room: spirals, crescent moons, and the ancient mark of eternal blood.
